Jamala has been extremely active in helping her homeland since the very beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In 2022, she took part in the Polish edition of “Dancing with the Stars” to support the activities of the Polsat Foundation, which collected funds for children affected by the effects of the Russian attack on Ukraine. The artist directly said that she wanted to support her compatriots in need with her artistic activities.
Jamala from Ukraine won Eurovision. Now he is targeted by the Russian Federation
Although the Russian invasion has been going on for almost two years, the Russian security services have only recently investigated Jamala’s activities. According to the independent Russian website Mediazona, Jamala has been wanted in Russia since October on an arrest warrant. In November, a Russian court was to decide in absentia to arrest her.
The Russian Federation accuses her of “spreading false information about the Russian army.” The database of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs states that the search is based on a “criminal article.” However, nowhere has it been decided to specify which one it is specifically about.
Jamala won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2016, where she presented the song “1944”. From that moment on, she had no plans to visit Russia. And if she wanted to do so in the future, she would be banned from entering this country for the next 50 years. The 40-year-old artist is not the only Ukrainian artist who cannot enter the country. Many other artists and journalists from Ukraine also have the same ban.
